Join lettering artist and stationery designer Kirstie Bird for an introductory class to the art of Modern Calligraphy. The class includes an essential kit of calligraphy materials to use in class and take away with you.

This is a beginners' workshop, which will start with an introduction to good technique and some nib knowledge. Kirstie will then guide guests through some practice exercises, moving on to letterforms, and by the end of the session everyone will be able to write their name, or a favourite quote, in Modern Calligraphy, with Kirstie always on hand for assistance.This is a christmas themed workshop so expect to come away with gift tags ready to fix to your wrapped presents!

This workshop will be held in the magical plant shop called Forest in Deptford. See website below for pics and further details, its going to be amazing!
